You are an engineer in a design, build, and operate construction firm. The firm has received four requests
for proposals (RFPs) and can only respond to one of these. You have been asked to review the RFP from
Washentaw County, Michigan, and write up a three-page executive summary for the marketing team.
After reading all of the executive summaries, the marketing team will make a decision about which, if
any, of the RFPs to respond to.

Your executive summary should include the following items: an introduction that includes a detailed
overview of the project scope; identification of the required information to be included into the
company response to the RFP; your concerns about any of the obligations in the RFP; how any
negotiations with Washentaw County could affect the decision (i.e.,What collaborative methods of
problem MEE 5901, Advanced Solid Waste Management 3 solving could be used to solve the marketing
team’s problem of choosing an RPF? How could these methods be applied to this situation?); and your
justified recommendation to respond or to pass on this business opportunity. This should include a
description of the leadership and management principles that factored into your decision. Also, as stated
in the RFP, the criteria for making a decision will depend on the following three areas: price, collection
and methodology, and responsiveness to the bid. While you cannot address the price issue, you can
cover in your recommendation discussion the collection methodology and the level of detail that you
would recommend when responding to the bid. Your response should be at least three pages in length.
At a minimum, you should use information from your textbook to support your answer, but other
academic resources may be used as well. Any resources used should by cited in accordance with APA
guidelines. Format your response in APA style to include a title page, running head, and reference page.
